What would you give up for a top 3 pick?

[Thee Jazz Fan]

The #1 pick is the only pick that I'd give both picks for, plus any combo of players except Favors and Hayward.

My opinion is that if we keep looking for the draft to solve our problems (especially outside the top 2-3 picks), then we're always going to be young and inexperienced and at best a 6-7 seed. I would prefer to package what we got to get a top pick (surest way to get an all-star) and then we'll have bucket loads of cap space after next year to go after DH12 and CP3. Okay that last part may be wishful thinking, but I do think having 6 extremely young guys would be a little extreme, and I think after next year we could possibly land a franchise guy in FA.

Kanter if it meant getting Davis. I've grown to like Kanter, but Davis and Favors would be bring unspeakable defense. That is going to be impossible to trade up to the #1 spot though.

None of the other guys really intrigue me enough to aggressively trade up for them. Rather takes risk on the later lottery guys, who I also think are pretty good.

I'd argue Kanter is the better man/post defender while Favors is the better help defender/shot blocker.

I think defensively Kanter/Davis would actually be better than Davis/Favors.

I lie. I'm pretty high on MKG, too. If we can move up to get him, then draft Lillard, then steal Machado in the second round.... stoked.
It'd be great if we could move up by using our expiring contracts. The Dwight saga 2.0 might provide that.

Watson/Lillard/Machado
Burks/Hayward
Hayward/MKG
Millsap/Kanter
Favors/Kanter

Some gaps here, but, yeah.

I think they're both right ... just depending on matchups.

 

[BluesRocker]

Can someone tell me how we didn't get in on nj giving away a little pick? Was there nothing we could have givin them? All they got was Gerald Wallace. Man they are dumb.

If we trade our picks + Millsap and wait till 2013 to get our PG, here's what our team could look like

PG - (Harden, Curry, CP3, Lawson)
SG - Burks, Hayward
SF - (Barnes, MKG, Brittney Griner), Hayward
PF - Favors
C - Kanter, (Pekovic)

 

[Dr. Jones]

As much as I'm NOT high on Barnes' overall game, he may be perfect for the future Jazz. Just seems like we're going to have a bunch of guys that can get into the lane .. slashers. They need someone to kick out to. And anyone that makes an assertion that Barnes is akin to a Korver, well, put them on ignore.

It would likely need to be in FA.

It would likely need to be in FA.

Exactly what I meant if you look at my possible PGs

We'll easily have enough money to get a franchise PG (problem is them wanting to come here), as well as a serviceable big (got my eye on Pek).

 

[Gameface]

Is there such a thing as too many young guys?

Michael Jackson didn't think so.

If the wizards get the #1 pick I could see them trading it to us for Kanter and our two first round picks. That would give them a frontline of Kanter with nene and two picks to fill in SG and sf!
